If you’re an online retailer and are looking into sending text messages to customers to alert them of impending deliveries, where does the texting slot into your IT system?

Paragon, the routing and scheduling specialist, is offering a new option – a built-in messaging function in its Fleet Controller transport management package. It is linked to another add-in feature, satellite tracking with the Navman Wireless system. It means vehicle positions are constantly monitored, allowing customers to be alerted when the goods are due, or in the event of delay.

Fleet Controller integrates with Paragon’s routing, scheduling and transport optimisation systems, analysing vehicle location and status information and relaying the information to users.
